I love pumpkin pie or anything with pumpkin, but this is special! Made for my husband and I and he asked me to make again as soon as it was gone!!! Will make it for thanksgiving next year using my fresh pumpkin. Also it was simple to make but tasted like a complicated recipie!!!

Finally made this recipe a couple of weeks ago and decided it is a great way to make Pumpkin Pie for a crowd! I will be making this again for Thanksgiving. If you have family members (kids) that do not care for nuts, simply omit the topping but continue baking the additional 15 to 25 minutes until done.

I made this for the first time for my staff at work and it's really delicious and not hard at all. They all wanted the recipe afterwards.

These were very good! My boys loved them. They were very sweet so I may reduce the sugar when I make them again. I used fat free con. milk to help reduce the calories.

I've been making this recipe for years and it's the only dessert my son asks for every Thanksgiving. I just want to mention that my original recipe calls for 2T butter added to the topping. Also, I prepare the topping first in the food processor and then refrigerate it while I do the rest. It keeps from having to wash everything again.

This recipe has always been my family favorite. I never really cared for plain pumpkin pie, but this really kicks it up a notch. The depth and texture is way past plain old pie. I make this several times over the holidays. MMMMM!

This dessert is my family's favorite fall favorite. I originally found the recipe on a box of Land O Lakes butter. The recipe is perfect just the way it is. It's easy and can look elegant baked in a glass baking pan and served on a plate drizzled with a little caramel syrup. Add whipped cream and enjoy. Love it!

After a long, busy day of work and errands, the last thing I want to do when I get home is cook a meal. I usually end up throwing together a quick salad, but, during these cold winter days, a cold salad just won’t cut it. Enter Slow Cooker Rustic Beef Stew. This recipe let me do minimal prep, leave for the day and come home to a hot and satisfying meal with minimal clean up.

One of my biggest regrets in childhood was that I did not like to eat fish. It really makes no sense. I grew up in a family that loved to fish, so there was ample supply of walleye, crappies, sunfish and northern with the occasional salmon or trout from Lake Superior. I also love to fish and, through practice, I have mastered the skill of cleaning them. To top it off, I’ve always loved to cook fish. During a meal, I would serve up batch after batch of perfectly pan-fried fish (in butter, of course) so it had a crisp cracker coating and delicately flaky interior. More ...
